Would you like an in-game parser?

If parsers become official, then I'd fear we'll see less and less people taking time to look upon others and teach them. They'll just say "Go parse yourself !"

And, like I said earlier, the more people will focus on crunching numbers, the more we'll see content requiring to crunch numbers.

This is probably also why we won't see special effects on gear. If it allows for even 1% more DPS, then it will become a requirement for any content. And if it makes you lose this 1%, then people will neglect it.

I think you mean efficiency? That already happens, just using stat weights. Also people chose Wars and Drks over Pallys because the extra Tank DPS allowed them to cushion the raid DPS to beat the raid as early as possible.

If more people focus on crunching numbers, then the population of good DPS players will increase. You know what just wrecks my DPS? A good mechanic. I try to beat that mechanic DPS everytime I go in. A5s with monkey is an example for me. I wanna beat myself each time I go in, each week. Do the mechanic more efficiently. Ergo.. Get better.

Numbers are a game, within this game. Getting a Higher score is a drive for myself and many others. I don't care if your DPS is low. Hop on my back and I'll carry you as far as my legs can hold or run with me and we'll have the fastest time, either of us has ever had.
